1. My favorite sport is baseball. I have loved baseball for as long as I can remember. I have always liked it. I have played it for as long as I have watched it. I only watch MLB baseball.

2. My favorite baseball player is Anthony Rizzo. He got drafted by the Padres and was in the minors for a while. He got traded to the Cubs last year. Ever since the Cubs brought him up to the Majors, he has been doing all right.

3. I like to run track. I haven't ran track for very long. I started running track this year. I run the 200, hurdles, and long jump. I'm not very good at any of them. I'm sure I'll be much better by next year.

4. In the Summer I like to play baseball. As i said in the first part, I love baseball. I don't just love watching it though. I also love playing it. I have been playing baseball for as long as I can remember. I don't want to stop playing baseball for a long time.

5. I wrestle in the Winter. I have been wrestling for a couple years. It is one of my favorite sports. I don't watch it, but I love to do it. I started wrestling because my brother wrestled. I want to wrestle as long as I possibly can.

Baseball season finally started on March 31st. Only two teams played, the Astros and the Rangers. Surprisingly, the Astros beat them 8-2. That Sunday marked the start for a long 162-game season. My favorite team, the Cubs, didn't play until April 1st, the next day. They won! I have been waiting since October for the season to start, so I am pretty excited.

"No game in the world is as tidy and dramatically neat as baseball, with cause and effect, crime and punishment, motive and result, so cleanly defined. ~Paul Gallico"

I love baseball. I have loved baseball since I was a little kid, and I don't think I will stop loving baseball. It's not just playing baseball, it's watching baseball to. I have watched baseball, professional and little league, my whole life. I'm not very good at playing baseball, but that doesn't matter for me, I just love the game. There are many parts I like about it. A lot of people say baseball isn't exciting, but whoever says that hasn't watched it.
